jake-bourbon: oldschoolfrp: asphesteros: dungeoneeringdad: DM Screen art by Trampier. David Trampier is a primary influence in the tone I try to achieve in the games I run I never owned this screen but I sat on this side of it a few times, so of course I knew it had the demon idol from the Players Handbook in the lower center. Recently I finally started recognizing some of the other sources of images that Trampier incorporated into this. The group around the treasure chest in the lower left is a reference to his full page illustration in the 1st ed Monster Manual. The lizardman silhouette with the halberd in the center of the dragon’s fire breath is TSR’s early corporate logo, also seen in Greg Bell’s 1976 inside cover illustration for D&D Supplement I: Greyhawk. The bearded fighter with the distinctive face dominating the right side is a self-portrait of Trampier. Once you know to look for it, you’ll see his face in much of his D&D art. RIP Dave Trampier (May 24, 1954 – March 24, 2014). -- source link
